Editing Argos, Peloponnese (section)

==Ecclesiastical history==
After Christianity became established in Argos, the first bishop documented in extant written records is Genethlius, who in 448 AD took part in the synod called by [[Archbishop Flavian of Constantinople]] that deposed [[Eutyches]] from his priestly office and [[excommunication|excommunicated]] him. The next bishop of Argos, Onesimus, was at the 451 [[Council of Chalcedon]]. His successor, Thales, was a signatory of the letter that the bishops of the [[Roman province]] of [[Achaea (Roman province)|Hellas]] sent in 458 to [[Byzantine Emperor]] [[Leo I the Thracian]] to protest the killing of [[Proterius of Alexandria]]. Bishop Ioannes was at the [[Third Council of Constantinople]] in 680, and Theotimus at the [[Photius|Photian]] [[Council of Constantinople (879)]].<ref>Michel Lequien, [https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_86weAemI-e4C ''Oriens christianus in quatuor Patriarchatus digestus''], Paris 1740, Vol. II, coll. 183–186</ref> The local see is today the [[Greek Orthodox]] [[Metropolis of Argolis]].
